India’s asset monetization sounds good-a plan to unlock govt assets by leasing them to pvt players. But I fear it will backfire. India’s govt lacks institutions to prevent asset capture by a few big businesses. Recall what Russia’s oligarchs did bringing the economy to its knees.

Are we heading for an era of increased confrontation where opposition ruled states will file FIRs and arrest BJP leaders/supporters, while the Centre or BJP ruled states will file FIRs and arrest opposition leaders/supporters?
If so, it can’t be good for Indian democracy.
